Nextcloud update 13.0.5

We started rolling out the 13.0.5 update, maybe it will be the last update before Nextcloud 14.

Added Previewgenerator

We added the Previewgenerator app, to improve the speed of gallery and mobile clients. Right now it is not activated on all clouds as we test the impact on our servers, we will post more on this topic soon.

Mail update v0.8.3

Whats next?

We already working on the Nextcloud 14 update, which will be relased later this month, there will be a updated status report posted soon.

Also the Nextcloud conf is happing soon in Berlin, its the best way to get involved and learn about Nextcloud. Come join us!

Always up2date applist

At our applist you can see which app in which version is installed on Portknox. We have now automated the way our applist is generated, after every Nextcloud or app update the list gets regenerated. Right now it's possible to activate 44 apps!

For two years Portknox has been hosting the nightly builds for several Nextcloud apps. As we have to move to a newer server, I'll take the chance to document the nightly creation process. So, if you want to add nightly builds to your app here is a full automated and low-maintenance process. In case you need help or a place to save the builds just send us an email. We are happy to help!

Update: There is a note for existing users below (gray screen problem).

We have just set live our updated Collabora server, all users who have booked the Collabora Online Addon can benefit from many new features. Here is a list of some, you can find many more in the linked blog posts from Collabora below:

Nextcloud 13 is here (in fact 13.0.1)

Early this month we finished migration of all Portknox clouds to Nextcloud 13 and with it nearly all apps have got an update. As you can see in our applist, Portknox now offers 41 supported apps.

Nextcloud Talk

One of the biggest enhancements is Nextcloud Talk which adds video & audio-conferencing to Nextcloud.

Please note that you will need a TURN server to communicate with users behind routers or firewalls. We offer an addon which is easy to setup.

End-to-end Encryption

Nextcloud 13 also adds a feature for client side encryption as a tech preview. We will test and follow the progress closely. Right now we don't ship this app to our customers, but it looks as if we will soon.

Whats next at Portknox?

Right now we are migrating clouds to our improved infrastructure. As every Portknox cloud is self-contained and isolated this needs to be done from time to time. We have done this in past, too.

Get your Nextcloud free for 14 days

If you want to test your own up2date Nextcloud you can now try Portknox.net for 14 days.

Since Collabora Online is available as an addon to our Portknox clouds, many customers have started using it to work on office documents through the browser and in collaboration with others.

Today we have further improved and updated our Collabora integration. Our infrastructure now has increased capacity, opening a document is much faster. Furthermore we have updated Collabora Office and all included dependecies.

We have also included the version number of Collabora Online / LibreOffice Online to your applist.

QOwnNotesAPI added

One of the most requested addons is the advanced API for QOwnNotes. As soon as you enable the API in your Portknox cloud, you are able to use versioning and access to your trashed notes. Here is a screenshot of the QOwnNotes desktop app (it works on all plattforms):

Calendar update to 1.5.6

This minor update fixes bugs with timezones, UI and the sharing. Here is the full changelog.

Deck update to 1.2.4

Another minor update with UI and bug fixes.

Nextcloud update 12.0.3

All clouds will get the update to the most recent maintenance release.

Please note that we update customer clouds in batches, if your cloud does not have the new apps yet, give us some more days :)

Always up2date applist

At our applist you can see which app in which version is installed on Portknox. We have now automated the way our applist is generated, after every Nextcloud or app update the list gets regenerated. Right now it's possible to activate 43 apps!
